【解析】成功来之不易。像爱迪生这样的成功人士们为我们树立了好的榜样。如果他们放弃梦想的话是不可能取得成功的。

【1】考查关系词。句意：成功人士在获得成功之前都要克服困难的。根据句意是在成功之前要经历磨难，故填before。

【2】考查动词时态语态。句意：爱迪生因为没有工作能力,他在前两个工作中都被炒鱿鱼了。这里讲述的是过去的事情要用一般过去时，主语和“开除”是被动关系，故填was fired。

【3】考查非谓语动词。句意：爱迪生尝试了上千次目的为了创造灯泡，不定式结构表示目的，故填to create。

【4】考查代词。句意：爱迪生对自己很自信，反身代词“他自己”，故填himself。

【5】考查副词。句意：爱迪生对自己很自信，最后他成功了。用副词形式修饰整个句子，故填eventually。

【6】考查非谓语动词。句意：当被问及失败了1000次爱迪生是什么感受时，爱迪生说我并没有失败1000次。前后主语一致是爱迪生，与动词“问及”是被动关系，应该使用过去分词，故填asked。

【7】考查冠词。句意：爱迪生说我并没有失败1000次，只是经历了1000步创造了灯泡。灯泡是一项发明，冠词修饰名词，名词是元音开头的单词时，表示一个要用不定冠词an,故填an。

【8】考查名词单复数。句意：成功人士给我们树立了榜样，set an example“树立一个榜样”多个成功人士当然设立了多种榜样，因此用复数名词，故填examples。

【9】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果他们放弃梦想的话是不可能取得成功的。If 引导虚拟语气，与过去事实相反用过去完成时，故填had abandoned。

【10】考查介词。句意：相信自己并且努力，成功离你就不会遥远。远离far from，故填from。
